Gun Control Reform Activism

Both the problem and the solution are painfully obvious to all but the Conservative good-ole-boy gun culture. NRA apologists and Second Amendment absolutists insist that the answer is more guns and an escalation of the arms race between fictional "good guys," and "bad guys." The reality is that under the current lax background check procedures, most gun owners are "good" until they go "bad."

It plain to see that the common denominator in all gun violence incidents is guns, and the answer is less guns on our streets, and eventually fewer guns in society. We have attacked other public health issues successfully before, and gun violence can be overcome through enacting common sense laws pertaining to purchase, storage, and tracking of guns. Also, we can increase public awareness of the carnage caused by gun violence, to include requiring warning labels on products, and health notices in advertising of gun sales.

Yes, I know -- because the Second Amendment, Freedom, and Liberty. ALL of the other Amendments are reasonably restricted, and the Second is the most in need of regulation, restrictions, and reinterpretation.

The answer in part, is to elect real Democrats to political offices at all levels of government. Democrats who are beyond the reach of the right-wing gun lobby, and the death-dealing gun merchants they represent.
